As expected, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 dominated the box office this black Friday adding an estimated $24,100,000 to its $168,608,000 haul from its first week in theaters. This is after a disappointing opening weekend which was the largest of 2014, but the smallest in the franchise history. The third installment also took in $11.1 on…
I know you shouldn't judge a movie by its trailer, but when it's this good there's no way to ignore it. Such is the case of the much-anticipated and slightly dreaded reboot of the Jurassic Park series with the June 2015 release Jurassic World. I dare you to find me someone who wasn't blown away the first time they…
